MZMcBride,
[...]
I'm curious about this as well. I see that source code is mentioned at
<https://tools.wmflabs.org/otrsreports/index.html>, but I didn't see a
link off-hand. If a code repository exists somewhere that people could
contribute to, it might be nice to add a link in the footer. Just poking
around the HTML page source, the report seems to be built using at least
jQuery, Bootstrap, and xtable. Very neat, I'd be interested to learn
more.
I've added a link. Nothing fancy, really. I just wrote the HTML from
scratch based on Bootstrap with the TOC borrowed from someplace I
don't remember (but the Bootstrap team uses it in their own
documentation as well); the tables look the way they look because of
bootstrap-table (<http://bootstrap-table.wenzhixin.net.cn/>); the two
"interactive" (simple) charts were made using Chart.js
(<http://www.chartjs.org/>); xtable is an R package (I've used R for
the analytical parts that I did) which has a function to print R data
tables/frames as HTML tables, so that was all just copy&paste. All
static. The bar charts were created using ggplot2 and the plot.ly R
API (<https://plot.ly/ggplot2/>). Not sure if that's what you wanted
to know, but I hope it helps ;).
Regarding long-term archival of the report, I've answered at
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:OTRS/Reports/2014#Preserving_history
(in short: yes, there will be a PDF, and
the web version has also been
saved via
archive.org).
You and the rest of the OTRS admin team are wonderful. Thank you very much
for putting together 2014's report; both its content and its appearance
are great. And thank you for the quick and helpful replies. :-)
